Abroad: A Novel of Cross-Cultural Encounters

ABROAD is a captivating and emotionally charged novel that chronicles the lives of three friends as they navigate their way through adolescence, young adulthood, and cultural upheaval in pre-globalized France, Asia, and Mexico.

Through interconnected stories steeped in the 1960s and 70s, this novel examines how world travel can upend our preconceptions of youth and home culture, while seeking to answer two fundamental questions: Can we ever truly understand someone from a different culture, and can we ever truly understand ourselves if we don’t try? With a touching cumulative force, ABROAD unfolds and resolves with deeply satisfying structural surprises that will leave readers shaken and inspired.
